Travel - 3 September 2007

We have returned from a week's self-catering holiday in South East Spain, booked through a UK travel company, which was marred by a cooker and washing machine that did not work. For a self catering holiday, this of course is inconvenient to say the least and led us to pay £50 in excess baggage for wet towels that could not be dried on the final day.

The Spanish agency has said we are fabricating the claim as the equipment was working ok and it is our word against theirs.

Our UK travel agency are preferring to believe their Spanish counterparts.

I am planning to write again for the final time to the UK travel company asking for financial compensation for my consideration saying I am surprised they value their reputation so poorly, and plan to raise this with a travel journalist relative of mine, unless I receive a satisfactory response.

What do you think I should do/ do differently?

Thanks SM

Ok, so we are traveling to visit the UK around Christmas this year (from the US). We are renting a car to get around. One of the days I would like to take the Chunnel and use it to go to France and ultimately visit Normandy Beach. Are there any restrictions to my ability to take a rental car into another country? If so, are there addendums you can purchase that would allow this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance for the info. Oh, btw, we plan to use one of the major rental car companies (Avis, Hertz, Alamo, etc) as opposed to something like Fred's Rentals.

If someone crosses you do you bend with the wind, or do you tell them to bring it on?

I think the best are:
- Alqahira Alyawm (Cairo Today)
- Elbeet bitak (It's your home)
- Alashira masa'an (10 in the evening)
- 90 daqeeqa (90 minutes)

Did I miss any good ones? Do you have any personal favorites?
